“One White House official with knowledge of the conversations told me that the Russian ambassador raised the sanctions to Flynn and that Flynn responded that the Trump team would be taking office in a few weeks and would review Russia policy and sanctions. That’s neither illegal nor improper.”
That was Bloomberg View columnist Eli Lake’s reporting and take on what was actually discussed between former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in an U.S. government-recorded conversation on Dec. 29, 2016.
On Jan. 13, the fact that the conversation had occurred was leaked to the news media to create the appearance of sedition by Flynn. But a subsequent inquiry by the FBI had found nothing illegal to do with the conversation, which was reported on Jan. 23 by the Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima and Greg Miller.
It turned out to be a non-crime.

IMO, this crap isn’t ‘Obama.’ He’s not that smart to engineer a campaign like this. I don’t even thing Hillary is. Frankly, I think it is the amorphous genetic makeup of liberal media, politicians and rabid progressives to naturally lash out when they’ve had their ass wired-brushed in an election. They all know the tricks - they’re experts at it. Spend more time at it than actually doing substantive value-added work.
Line up the Pros at the CIA and make them take a lie detector test to keep their security clearances. Fire the ones who refuse and fire the ones who fail. Time to clean house. Somebody requested the wire taps and somebody leaked the transcripts.
It is the Globalist, New World Order. And the Military Industrial Complex is now controlled by them.
Obama is only one of their many tools.
The problem was that Brennan was not arrested Day 1 and his communications seized. The Obama commissars at CIA and NSA need to be purged and the seditious plot to delegitimize and depose Trump exposed and stopped. Remember that slimy, stupid Chuck Schumer gleefully “warned” Trump that the CIA was powerful and could bring anyone down. Somehow Schumer became privy to the plot and was too dumb to keep quiet. Either Trump moves definitively against these traitors or her will be tormented throughout his Presidency.
The president had to know the details of the conversation.
If so, Flynn didn’t lie to Pence.
so why did Pres. Trump ask for Flynn’s resignation ?
IMO, the whole Russia/Trump issue is FAKE NEWS. Taking all eyes off of the incredible crimes of Obama and Hillary.
The first and the last. Payback is coming hard.
How was President Trump supposed to trust Flynn after he lied to the Vice President? Flynn did the president a big disservice. He was right to resign.
Time for Trump to, if possible, unseal all Obama personal records.
If not possible, perhaps leaking this info will be to his advantage.
We will find Obama to have been enrolled as a foreign student, nullifying his term as POTUS.
I just don’t subscribe to the notion that Obama sits on high in the background adroitly pulling the strings and running the show. He could not even get the Witch elected when he had all the power. Now, he only has Michelle and his phone.
Those ghouls he left in place in the government, his clones, can operate on auto pilot. As far as I know, Trump is not allowed by law to fire all of them. However, it would be entirely legal for him to put them, with their freaking pay, on the Alaska North Slope.
Why would he know? President Trump was not President yet and calls were made by outside of the administration being set up.
Flynn may have made an honest error, but got caught as they are looking for leaks.
YES -— FIRE WITH FIRE!!!
Open ALL Obama records and get them public ASAP. You want to see the roaches scurry -— turn on the lights!!!
I agree. Obama must be thoroughly exposed.
I think President Trump needs to address the nation and explain what is going on with the Obama-Soros-New World Order Shadow Government.
I am not sure what is missing, may be conversation only the spies and WaPo are privy to.
so much spit flying around, hard to keep it straight what\who to believe.
We were told the swamp would be drained. It was not. We are paying the consequences as a historic opportunity is evaporating and the trump Train is being slowed down. If the leaks and treasonous scum are not punished, it could be a one term deal. There is a coup under way within the government to sabotage the Trump Administration by entrenched statists and Obama diseased bureaucrats. The outside influences of leftists media and leftist enemies such as Soros is strong.
